You know, that whole "Birds of a feather." <br /><br />That's about as deep and meaningful as I can get right now....<br /><br />;)<br /><br />You are absolutely right, though.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134783487886396939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113256234142991464.post-46231457845638446602009-07-17T00:13:39.664+02:002009-07-17T00:13:39.664+02:00Dude.

I find myself doing that a lot, so I have to make a very concentrated effort to reach out and become friends with others different than myself.<br /><br />I also know that one reason I, personally, surround myself (in particular) with a lot of strong Christian girlfriends is that if I didn't, my walk wouldn't be as strong. (Not that it's particularly great...lol). <br /><br />Having a solid network of like-minded folks gives me the grace and strength I need to minister to friends who don't share any of my beliefs at all. The grace to love them and accept them for who they are, a precious being created in the image of God, just like me.<br /><br />And believe me, I have a LOT of those...more than I thought I did, when I took a tally.<br /><br />Anyway...that's one reason I thought of, although I know there have been times I surrounded myself that way because I couldn't HANDLE the challenge of anything different for awhile. :-)<br /><br />Great question...looking forward to the next post.Faerylandmomhttp://www.thefaeryinn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
